http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201304/201304031138144576826.mp3Artie Shaw made his last public appearance as a musician in 1954. He said the struggle with fame and trying to produce a perfect sound was destroying him. He was only 44 years old. He never played the clarinet again.
Artie Shaw wrote several books in his later years. He wrote stories for magazines. He spoke about music at colleges and universities. But he had very little to do with the world of recording or music. During those years however, he received many awards and honors for his music. These included a Hall of Fame award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
Music experts will tell you that Artie Shaw was one of the best of the big band leaders and musicians. Much of his work from so long ago is still fresh and exciting today.
We leave you with one more Artie Shaw song. He recorded it in 1940. It is called "Blues." Listen as Artie Shaw makes his clarinet fly.亚提·萧最后一次作为音乐家在公共场合露面是在1954年。他表示自己为名所累，对音乐的完美追求毁了自己。他只有44岁，却再也不演奏单簧管了。在他的晚年，亚提·萧写了好几本书，为杂志写故事，在各个大学里聊音乐，却几乎不创作或录制音乐了。但在那些年里，他却因为他的音乐获得了无数的奖项和荣誉。这些奖项中，还包含了国家唱片艺术及科学学会颁发的名人堂大奖。音乐界专家会告诉你亚提·萧是最著名的大乐团领队和音乐家之一，他多年前创作的许多艺术作品在现在看来依然新鲜而充满活力。我们再给大家听一首亚提·萧录制于1940年的曲子，叫《Blues》。听听亚提·萧是如何展现他的单簧管的。
